Hi Brian,

Good to hear the success and happy to support this case.

Please kindly verify the answers as the solutions. Thanks.

For your first paragraph, the files you described were there.

Second paragraph, I saved (and deleted) the files in a sub-folder, and copied the .hex file from a backup and placed it in the hex folder. I can now upload the soft device and the main app to the nRF51 Development Kit and it seems to work.

Thanks for the tip about not compiling the soft device.

I think everything has been resolved.

Thanks,

Brian Fleming

Hi Brian,

Did you add startup files, arm_startup_nrf51.s and system_nrf51.c? You can add them into the Device (green) folder under the project or go through Project > Manage > Run Time Environment.

You also could try the suggestion in this thread.

You should in general always use the softdevice that comes with the sdk version you are using (check the folder: nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad\components\softdevice\s130\hex). You never want to compile the softdevice.

If you go back to the softdevice hex file folder, you notice that the softdevice hex file has become a Windows Script component now. Delete all the files that were created in that folder, download the correct softdevice hex file & put it back in that folder.

Here is a link to the correct softdevice needed:

s130_nrf51_2.0.1_softdevice.hex

Once you have done this, erase the nrf51 chip, program the chip with the softdevice hex file (Flash -> Download tab or press F8 instead of F7) & then go back to the application & flash the program to the nrf51.

Thank you again for your continuing support!

I copied and pasted the Processor Symbols/Define and the Include Paths from the nrf51422_xxac to the soft device C/C++ and now I am seeing this error:

Hi Brian,

You should add to the "Include paths" in the Option for target -> C/C++ tab as

As you know I am not an expert at setting up keil project, but I am wondering since the 'main porogram' compiles that ther is some thing wrong with the configuration or setup of the sample device.

RE: Keil 4 to Kiel 5 upgrade

brian fleming — Sat, 31 Aug 2019 03:08:14 GMT

Sorry but I still have the same error:

*** Using Compiler 'V5.06 update 6 (build 750)', folder: 'C:\Keil_v5\ARM\ARMCC\Bin'
compiling main.c...
..\..\..\main.c(54): error: #5: cannot open source input file "nordic_common.h": No such file or directory
#include "nordic_common.h"

I copied all the .h files which were in the folder which you suggested above, and the nordic_common.h was one of them.

Cheers, Brian Fleming

Hi Brian,

You could search the files under nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad.

"nordic_common.h" is under <nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad>\components\libraries\util

Thanks as always!

Ok, the ble_app_uart_pca10028_s130 (actually the whole project) is compiling with no errors when loaded from the folder you suggested! Thanks!

Now the soft device. Can you tell me which soft device I should be using? nRF51422_xxAA the AB or the AC version.

This is the device listed in the dropdown. flash_s130_nrf51_2.0.1_softdevice.

I have tried all three versions and they all compile with the same error.

A windows explorer search does show that the nordic_common.h does exist in the 'C:\Keil_v5\ARM\ARMCC\Bin' folder.

Thank-you for your continuing support!

Hi Brian,

The project is under nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_d7731ad\examples\ble_peripheral\ble_app_uart\pca10028\s130\arm5_no_packs

Could you try that?

arm4 is for Keil 4.

Hello. I have not made any real progress because I feel I have made some terrible mistake which is causing the difficulties I am experiencing, therefore I think I should have a fresh look at my problem.

Previously I was using the Keil 4, the nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_D7731ad SDK and the nRF51 Development Kit with the on board nRF51422, and it was working perfectly.

Due to a computer hardware issue, I need to use Kiel 5 with the nRF51 Development Kit which I was using previously.

Can you supply me with a link to the correct SDK which I can use with Keil 5 and the nRF51 Development Kit?

It is very important that the SDK has an example for the ble_app_uart like what is in the nRF5_SDK_12.3.0_D7731ad.

I have been copying the missing files into: C:\Keil_v5\ARM\BIN\ when I do so it compiles until it finds the next missing file.

RE: Keil 4 to Kiel 5 upgrade

brian fleming — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 22:50:22 GMT

Slowly making progress, but I am stuck on ble_12cap.h which all my searches can not find.

Instead of copying files, I have tried the modifying the Include path in C/C++ and it does not seem to help

..\..\..\config\ble_app_uart_pca10028_s130;..\..\..\config;..\config;C:\Keil_v5\ARM\BIN\;C:\Keil_v5\ARM\components\ble

Hi Brian,

"nrf51_deprecated.h" is located under <nRF5_SDK_12.3.0>\components\device.

For the Keil5 warning message, please see this answer: devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../

You are trying to open up a Keil 4 project in Keil 5, and then it looks in the Legacy Device Database for the target. For some reason, the xxAC chip is missing in this database. However, you should be able to just ignore the warning message. The project should compile just fine. You can also open the Keil 5 project in the arm5_no_packs folder, and the warning message should go away.

Hi Brian,

Please refer to Compiling the application and select the target as nrf51422_xxac.

>>Important question, is the nRF5_SDK_15.0.0_a53641a compatable with the nRF51 Development Kit?

No, please refer to nRF5 SDK v15.0.0 SDK Release Notes:

Supported boards:
- PCA10040
- PCA10040E (nRF52810 emulation on PCA10040)
- PCA10056
- PCA10059 (support in selected examples)
- Dynastream's D52DK1 (only for ANT examples)

Here is where I am at this moment, the problem is compiling the soft device.devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../ble2.txt

I have the example program compiling now, but the soft device has problems. More to come.

RE: Keil 4 to Kiel 5 upgrade

brian fleming — Mon, 19 Aug 2019 16:34:22 GMT

I can build the project now. I reinstalled Kiel and loaded all the packs.

However, when I build it, I get the following error at the bottom.

I can do a search for core_cm0.h and I find it on my computer, but I can't find where to put it so that the build process finds it.

Hi,

The error messages in 0334.BLE.TXT:

>>*** Error: Project 'ble_app_uart_pca10040_s132' requires 'ARM' Toolchain which is not installed.

>>*** Error: Project 'ble_app_uart_pca10028_s130' requires 'ARM' Toolchain which is not installed.

Could you deleted the Keil_5/4 folder and reinstalled Keil 5? Here is a guy with a similar problem who found a solution. Also this.

While installing MDK, it should also install 'ARM' Toolchain at the same time. I do not know the reason to cause that. I think you could also ask for help from ARM at the same time for the toolchain installation issue.

Hello, I hope I have documented my issues in the attached text document.devzone.nordicsemi.com/.../0334.BLE.TXT

RE: Keil 4 to Kiel 5 upgrade

Amanda Hsieh — Fri, 16 Aug 2019 11:32:37 GMT

Hi,

That options are used in the commands. You can ignore that now.

Which SDK version will you use? Each SDK has its own verified toolchains version. For example, in the SDK 12.3.0 Release Notes:

The following toolchains/devices have been used for testing and
verification:
- ARM: MDK-ARM version 5.18a
- GCC: GCC ARM Embedded 4.9 2015q3
- IAR: IAR Workbench 7.80.4

I saw you might use version 8 of GNU Tools for Arm Embedded Processors. Please check the SDK release notes for the required toolchain version.

Hi,

Please contact Keil support for tool's problem

I cannot find the readm.txt with that statement.

Where do you get the readme.txt? Where do you get?
